I have been reading this board alot and I see alot of awesome DE-10s and Geo blasters, but I was talking to a weaponsmith in my guild today about making me a DE-10 and he said that there are better guns than a DE-10 I should get instead. He is already making me a geo blaster, but since I am going to be doing alot of PvP soon, I was wondering what else I should get for PvP fights? Or should I get a DE-10?

Well, I'm a pistoleer, but I don't know all there is to know on this topic, but I'll share some of what I've picked up:
DE-10 = good, high damage-potential pistol; I hear it being used in Jedi hunting and such for the higher end models ( and I believe it has AP1....I think 
)
)Geo Blaster = used a lot in PVP as it's a great Stun damage-type pistol (many people have a relatively low/nil resistence on Stun)
So I guess it's all about tactic.....do you plan to rely on stun? energy? IMHO, get one of each for PVP just incase you encounter someone with heavy resists on either. If you can't dish out the cash for the DE-10 after getting a good Geo, I'd go with the Modified Republic Blaster....basically a nice, bleeding shot DOT pistol. That's just my 2 creds, hope it may have helped

it depends on what your fighting. my second quickbat has a line of guns.
DE-10, Geo, FWG, republic, striker, DX2, n soforth, soon to be joined by Mr scatter and Mr launcher, all of these are modded via krayt, fangs or gorax. and also, theyre all beasty, variety is the spice of life. and spice hurts when fired at high velocitys at your enemy

I'd say the DE-10 is best overall. With Light armor piercing and capable of having high damage (mine does 672 max damage with a powerup), using stopping shot, last ditch, and eyeshot work extremely well on most things.
Personally, I'd get one of every type of damage so you can take out many different thing. In my toolbar (in order) I have my Geo Pistol, Scatter, Republic Blaster, DE-10, and FWG5. Right there I have Stun, Acid, Energy, and Heat damage available at my disposal. Just a quick /examine of something and I can quickly switch to what I need - although I rarely use the Rep or FWG5 anymore ...

In today's PVP world .. stun armor and ADK psg's are the FOTM. Very tough to get any damage through even with a good Geo against good stun armor and undestroyable stun psg plus synsteak.
Psg's are vulnerable to acid .. so you would probably fair better with a good DX2 or scatter doing acid damage and the AP1 as opposed to the Geo's AP0.
It would be an intresting comparision in PVP to see the best DPS with:
-600+ DE10 vs 80-90% armor and psg
-400+ Geo vs 20-40% armor and psg
-400+ Scatter/DX2 vs 80-80% armor

Geo for PvPing against armor, DE-10 against Jedi or unarmored people.

Wow, thanks for the help. I have a weaponsmith friend, and he said he would make me a DE-10, but he needs the schem and the barrel...and those cost alot...i saw a schem for it today for 1 million...I don't have that kind of money at all. Where can I find these drops? I am not a master pistoleer yet, but I will be by the end of the week, and my guild does alot of PvP, so I need all the guns I can get as fast as I can. Right now I have a Good scatter and a good geo, and a republic blaster...so now I think I just need a DX2 and a DE-10 to complete it. Any tips on how to get those two?

Good comp armor has a high base aganst energy... plus a psg. De 10 is only good if the dmg is crazy or their unarmored/jedi or for pve.

Have a look at this link for getting DE-10 parts:
http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=pistoleer&message.id=70722&page=1
Its a very simple method and it has worked very well for me. Actairr has provided a very good 'pulling' macro later in the thread and I recommend you use it.
One point about DE-10s. I know many people who have the schematics and barrels but are waiting for the best resorces. I know on FarStar some of these resorces have not spawned for some time. I had a DE-10 made for me today with 'ok' but not top materials. A white barrel as opposed to a yellow one. Why?
Because my mid level DE-10 does significanlty more damage than there hyperthetical top or the range ones.
